Overview

Exercising sound judgment based on long experience, the leading practitioners in our restructuring and insolvency group can advise you and protect your business interests.

When you are facing financial difficulties or insolvency, experience and decisive action are critical.

Since fast action is often the key to success, experience is vital. Lavery’s expertise in this field is recommended by the 2017 Canadian Legal Lexpert Directory.

Our lawyers’ in-depth knowledge of commercial law, security interests, real estate law, litigation, the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act, the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act, the Winding-up and Restructuring Act, and the Farm Debt Mediation Act help them quickly devise an effective strategy to deal with any situation.
